[net.news.group] net.movies.s for SPOILERS

glm (06/26/82)

I suggest that we split the net.movies group into two groups:

	net.movies      -  news group to discuss movies in general, and
                           make recommendations on what to see or not see.

        net.movies.s    -  news group to discuss content of movies that
                           could spoil a movie for someone.

Over half of the submissions to net.movies are SPOILERS.  I admit to being
one who has submitted an article, and forgot to put in a SPOILER warning.
After a flood of mail the only thing left is to cancel it, and resubmit it
with a warning (or if it has been out for a while to cancel and forget it).

Those who don't wish to look at SPOILERS can even unsubscribe.

Let me know what you think and I will compile the results and post to the net.

I don't think this is a good idea.  Generally, you just don't want to
see the spoilers to the movies you have not seen.  If you have already
seen a movie, or don't want to, you might like to read the spoilers.
In general, I suspect almost everybody would subscribe to net.moviesall
anyway, so there would be no point.  Anybody who knows enough to post to
net.movies.s will surely know enough to put SPOILER in the title and
let you say 'n' as I do now.
